Summary

Preparation of this data collection was funded by grant
#90-A-1279 from the United States Department of Health and Human
Services, Administration on Aging. Estimates of the population of
persons 60 years old and older were received from the Census Bureau in
printed form and were made machine-readable by staff at ICPSR. Other
variables contained in this dataset were merged from existing
machine-readable census files. The data concerning racial composition
of counties were taken from the CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980
[UNITED STATES]: P.L. 94-171 POPULATION COUNTS (ICPSR 7854). The
figures concerning per capita income were taken from the Bureau of the
Census, GENERAL REVENUE SHARING, 1978 POPULATION ESTIMATES (ICPSR
7840). Variables include Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) state and county codes, 1978 per capita income of county, and
total population of county broken down by sex, race, and age (in
four-year increments with a category for persons 75 years old and
older).
